asily determined that the destination
gOodly number of these is the fifth
floor, on which Il beauty parlor sign is
prominent.
A beauty parlor, as every lady knows,
is a modern equivalent to Ponce de
Icons spring of eternal youth. 1t has
not been definitely learned that the lady
with the French prefix to her name who
runs the parlOr is in possession of that
stupendous revolving pillar of fire in
whose luminous rays s'She' bathed and
crystallized into perpetuity the trans
cendant beauty of her form and face.
but it is certainly true that though plain
women go into this beauty parlOr, none
but pretty ones come out. 1t is not as
serted that for the price of 81 a Dame
burden can be made into a Cleopatra,
but it is certain that Dame Burden can
look much more bewitching than is her
wont.
To begin with, Dame Burden, ten to
one, does her hair up in the awkward
est manner possible. and one of the first
things that will be done to her will be
to take her hair down, comb it ont so
that the general shape can be deter
mined and then undergo a retwiSting
and combing, rebraiding and curling,
with the hair maSSed where it will best
develop all the beauty she may possess.
1t is wonderful what difference it will
sometimes make upon Dame burden to
comb her hair i'll the right way. 1t may
be possible also-So inconsiderate is nat
ure-that Dame Durden's hair is not of
the most becoming tint, in which UNI
happy event the guardian of beauty
once more comes to the rescue and
gives Dame burden golden locks to
match her eyes of blue,or ebony locks to
suit her eyes of black, or auburn locks
to warm her eyes of gray.
Sometimes bleach is used and some
times dye, land in either case the liquid
is rubbed and brushed well in, until
every hair is of the same tint The
dyes and bleacheS used are not only
harmless. but beneficial, i'll so much as
they cause the hair to grow more rap
idly than is its usage, and make it nee
essary, therefore, for Dame burden still
to apply material to the roots of her
hair.
Ladies' are very apt to OverdO the
land to use the bleach again until their
bair gets brassy in tint. If they would
let me apply it once and stop, there
would be a beautiful blonde color, with
golden lights i'll it. The eyebrows and
laShes can be made the color of the hair,
of course. We also restore iaSheS and
brows when they become thin, unless,
indeed. they have been DESTROYED by
fire or disease, which makes restoration
impossible.
"Besides attending to the hair we de-
velop the form and beautify the face. A
great many American women are
troubled with lack of development.
To bring about the desired result it is

a day to the treatment. We will do the
treating if desired but a lady can do it
every bit as well herself. All it needs
is perseverance. We sell the entire out
fit for S..
There are other ways in which wa
develop the form also. For instance,
we have a balm which fills out sunken
cheeks and the holloWS above the breast
bone. The balm creates adipoSe tissue,
and the oft-repeated rubbing soon
makes healthy accumulation of flesh.
LAS to the face, almost anything can
be done with it. If the skin is Sallow or
freckled, or diSfgured with moth, wo
can apply wash which will remove the
entire outer skin and regrow skin of
fine, beautiful quality and of delicate,
pure tint. 1t causes more or less pain.
Some ladies stand it very well, but 9TH
ers go nearly crazy with the suffering.
| always tell them all about it, and then,
if they want to undertake it, they do it
on their own responsibility. 1t is not
injurious in any way, and beyond the
Smarting sensation no unpleaSantneSS
attaches to it. Elevated mOleS we re-
move with the electric needle, and that
is disagreeable in the way that all cleo
trio shocks are"
.'Do You make up ladies for theater
parties and ballS?'
"Oh. yes; constantly. We made up
several ladies for the Cleveland recep-
ton the other evening. After the hair
is becomingly done we tint the cheeks
and the lips and Written the skin. Then
we curve the brOwS and widen the eyes
by deIicately lining the lids with black.
The tip of the chin and the outer edges
of the ears are daintily touched with
pink. If lady has fine nose we put
Il trifle pink in the nOStrilS, and very
little is put Oh the upper part of the
lids. Then we polish the neck and arms
and whiten the hands. We have a
balm which makes the hands white,
and which most of our customers use
continually.
I'VE have set of regular patrons,
most of whom are society ladies. Now
that we are open evenings, however,
to look as we'll as any one. In prepar-
ing faces for party we usually go to
the house.. and frequently have half
dozen ladies to operate on at the same
place. This week we have bride to
sbeautify and intend doing IN Pxcep-
tionally fine piece of work on her.
ANY one who uses our face wash
said the beauty maker, land permits
the change of skin TO take place no
longer needs to use cosmetics. We take
out wrinkles very successfully, and
always advise our patrons of the best
way to avoid wrinkles. We can help
pimpleS to an extent, but such atfec-
tons are apt to need a physicians
tored from the inside instead of the
outside. We ale very cautious not to
injure the health OF Our patients i'll any
way
Just then petite brunette entered.
''This lady has used our face wash"
said the madame.
''Was it disagreeablc?" asked the re-
porter.
NO" replied the young lady, sweet
ly; 81 didn't mind it much. had ter
rible complexion, and felt it was worth
while to go to little trouble for bet

Certainly her rounded cheeks were as
clear an olive as could well be found.
She retired behind the pretty screen
that divided the room in twain. and the
reporter left closing the door on the
odd room with its divans, its curious
instruments, its balms and its heavy
perfumes.
